Share Your Long Covid Experience
Perspectives of people with Long Covid from across the country will be displayed and highlighted with an instantly recognizable graphic: a broken heart. This symbol of loss and grief underscores the impact Long Covid has had in the lives of so many — and our hope is it will speak volumes to the general public.
To bring this project to life, we need as many experiences as possible from across the country. We’re inviting everyone with Long Covid to share their perspective.
